Don't seek happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness. - Eckhart Tolle

Life is the dancer and you are the dance.

Every human being has been conditioned to think and behave in certain ways– conditioned genetically as well as by their childhood experiences and their cultural environment. That is not who they are, but that is who they appear to be. When you pronounce judgment upon someone, you confuse those conditioned mind patterns with who they are. To do that is in itself a deeply conditioned and unconscious pattern. You give them a conceptual identity, and that false identity becomes a prison not only for the other person but also for yourself. (Ch 8)

You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are! p. 91
